The Magnificent Magical Magnet of Santa Mesa, (The Adventures of Freddy) (1977)

In this made-for-TV movie, Freddie Griffith is a brilliant, altruistic and cheerfully goofy young inventor. Though his creations seemingly have value, they usually end up causing nothing but trouble. Freddie invents a giant, super-powerful magnet designed to solve the world's energy problems -- which winds up in the wrong hands.
